How long does the collar last ?

Hello Trish. It seemed to last abt 30 days. After abt day 35, I thought there was a big difference.

The instructions say 30 days. I used it for 1200 mile trip last week. Removed it when we got home and wrapped in foil. Put it back on this morning when we got ready to leave for church.

The collar holds a considerable amount. I can only speak for our dog, but it worked so well that we rarely have to turn it on now. Just having the collar is enough for him to understand.

To the best of my knowledge, taking the collar off of the dog during its 30 day active lifespan does not decrease its effectiveness.

The batteries it comes with vary (I bought 7 collars). I would guess on the low end 15 hours and double that if you get the better battery pack. There's no way to tell which one you'll get.

I don't think it will discolor his/her neck if you only use it for the walk and then remove it. It is more like the fur wearing away or breaking off; this collar is not meant to be worn all the time.

I've been impressed with the battery life of this collar. While I can't give you an exact length, I can say we've left ours on for weeks (2-3) in the T or vibrate mode and they were still working.

Collar should be worn 24/7 except for bathing. Activity against ticks starts within 24 hours. Read directions carefully. Check with your vet to determine if collar is ok for your dog, and will not conflict with other meds or health issues. Directions state replace every 90 days. I am in a heavy tick area; this I replace every 60 days.

When I get home from work I will measure and let you know. The collar is pretty long , I have a 50 lb Setter , The collar when on the dogs neck wraps about 3/4 around his neck again. I will measure.

The first collar lasted just over one year and would not charge any more. I was unhappy about that so I called the manufacture and they sent me a new collar (I had to pay for shipping) and said the warranty for the new 1 is 6 months. Unfortunately the collars do not last long. That is probably why they only gave a 6 month warranty on the replacement.

depends on how much you use them. If you are doing training for an hour or more they will only stay charged about 30 hours. If they are on the dog and the dog is pretty much trained but you have the collar for back up then they will hold a charge for 3 days.

It depends on the dog. I have two vizslas. One still needs the collar periodically, while the other rarely needs it. The one that needs the collar won't engage in the behavior at all with the collar on, but will on occasion if I take it off.

We used the collars on our cats who are 8 and 6. We left them on for one month and we did not have any problems. We also used the spray.

I only bought one collar and it works great. I would send it back and ask for a replacement...most companies will replace it free of charge.

Your fur baby's collar goes thru loops in the collar..Then it just Velcro's on. My Brittany wore it with no problem for 10 days.

I have not had an issue with that, and the dog we are using the DAP collar with has been wearing one for ten months now. I realize every dog is different, but I would definitely check your Vet.

It has a built in battery that last for a very long time. I have been more than pleased with the battery life on this collar.

Ours started doing that after a couple years of use. We don't even use our unit anymore for this reason. Thought this was a longer term investment but a new collar is $100....
